Solution

The state of matter that can be easily compressed is :

  • Gaseous state:- The particles of matter in the gaseous state stay far away from each other, i.e. the inter-particle spaces in the gaseous state are maximum, as well as the force of attraction between the particles, is least.
  • So, particles are free to move therefore they can be easily compressed.
